The original was made by envenoming of horses and extracting the serum from their blood. What's normally used now (for pit vipers) is fractionated antibodies from sheep. Try http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/crofab.htm for details.

It is milked from actual snakes and then purified. There was a gentleman in Florida who used to milk snakes for anti-venom. He owned a reptile farm there. He has been bitten so many times they say he is immune to the venom.
